Exploring Apia in Samoa

Palm trees, beautiful beaches and lovely island girls! Stereotypical but a true reflection of the Samoan islands. Apia is the capital of Samoa and is situated on the second largest island – Upolu. Although not geared to tourism as much as some nations, it has plenty to offer.  Lovely tropical weather, snorkelling, colourful local markets and beautiful scenery. The islanders are very welcoming and friendly and taxi drivers are good tour guides. Be warned that the taxis do not have meters and it’s best to negotiate a price and time frame up front. Apia has a population of approximately 37,000.
